Is it possible to sort by the bibliography list by authors? The manual says that sorttype=cite|bib?
No, because there is no reasonable way to do alphabetic sorting in TeX.
Perhaps I will reveal my own fundamental confusion about bibtex but:
What about letting bibtex (the C program) do the miserable work of alphabetic sorting? Then ConTeXt could typeset (the necessary subset of) bib items in that order.
That functionality is there already \setupbibtex[sort=author]
Ah, that is exactly what I wanted. I misunderstood \setuppublications[sorttype=bib]. I thought that it will sort according to the bib file, when it actually sorts according to the bbl file. So \setupbibtex[sort=author] \setuppublications[sorttype=bib] gives a bibliography sorted by author. Thanks, Aditya
